Tea Interval Special on the tele

[coverpoint]

Since India have made some noise about the cheating umps ... they are now announcing that they will have an ump show in the tea interval to show the viewers how hard it is to make these decisions. Thoughts ?

Isn't that missing the whole point of needing to bring in the techies?

thats not sky sports its channel 9 in aus (or whatever channel is showing it) its good in a way coz u get to how quick an umpire has to make a decision

[chunky_lafanga]

It's all BULL to make fuknor look good. What is the excuse for the third umpire? If as they say the umpire ke job is difficult then even more reason to use technology!!!!!!!!!

[apocalypse]

Yeah it's bit of a double-edged sword that argument. If you tell the viewers "look how hard it is for the umpires to make decisions", it will be interpreted by the viewer according to whatever his pre-conceived biases are anyway. 1) Umpires are human and it's hard to get the decisions right.. etc etc 2) It's impossible for the umpires to get the decisions right every time as they don't have the benefit of technology, hence an argument for technology.
